Obesity: An Unstoppable epidemic?

 

Obesity is one of the biggest health challenges we face. In England, approximately 46% of men and 32% of women are overweight (BMI of 25-30), and an extra 17% of men and 21% of women are obese.

The Government is taking action to reverse the rising tide of obesity.

The cost of overweight and obese individuals to the NHS is estimated to be £4.2 billion and is forecasted to more than double by 2050.

 

The cost to the wider economy is £16 billion, and this is predicted to rise to £50 billion per year by 2050 if left unchecked.
